"The missiles were test-fired during both day and night on Sunday during the trials. All three tests were successful," DRDO officials said. Government sources said the missile is in the final stages of being inducted into the Army which will use it by mounting them on modified armoured vehicles. The Defence Acquisition Council in 2018 had approved the procurement of DRDO-designed- and-developed NAG Missile System (NAMIS) at a cost of Rs 524 crore. The system includes a third-generation Anti-Tank Guided Missile, the NAG, along with the Missile Carrier Vehicle (NAMICA). The NAG missile is a third-generation anti-tank guided missile, which has top attack capabilities that can effectively engage and destroy all known enemy tanks during both day and night operations. The successful induction of NAG missile into the Army is expected to give a quantum boost to the Army's capability against enemy armour. NAG was one of the first five strategic missiles planned to be developed under the Integrated Missile Development Programme initiated in the 1980s. The other missiles developed under the project include Agni, Prithvi and Akash, and all three have been successfully developed and inducted into the armed forces.

[email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: In today’s world, there is rarely any scientific field which is not influenced by laser technology. In our paper, we will be particularly focusing on the applications of laser in defense & military. After 60 years of regressive research & experimentation on lasers, it has finally found its place in the field of defense & military. It is used in various defense applications like Mid-Infrared Advance Chemical laser (MIRACL), Air Borne Laser (ABL), Tactical High Energy Laser (THEL), Laser Guided Weapons, LiDAR, etc. It has conclude to be very useful where safety & Security are top priorities. Although there are quite many limitations for using Laser Technology in the area of Military & Defense, still there is high scope of future development in this field. So, the scientists are developing new Defense System, which will increase the security of nations against foreign threat. Keywords: LASER, MIRACL (Mid-Infrared Advance Chemical Laser), PHaSR (Personal Halting & Stimulation Response) THEL (Tactical High Energy Laser), LiDAR (Light Detection & Ranging), LOC (Line of Control), De-STAR (Directed Energy System for Targeting of Asteroids & exploration system) 1. Introduction Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiations which is also written in short as “LASER”, was theoretically discovered in 1957, but the first laser was built in 1960 by Theodore H.

  • SIPRI Yearbook 2018: Armaments, Disarmament and International
    world nuclear forces 267 VI. Indian nuclear forces shannon n. kile and hans m. kristensen India is estimated to have a growing arsenal of 130–40 nuclear weapons (see table 6.7). This figure is based on calculations of India’s inventory of weapon-grade plutonium and the number of operational nuclear-capable delivery systems. India is widely believed to be gradually expanding the size of its nuclear weapon stockpile as well as its infrastructure for producing nuclear warheads. Military fissile material production India’s nuclear weapons are believed to be plutonium-based. The plutonium was produced at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in Trombay, Mumbai, by the 40-megawatt-thermal (MW(t)) heavy water CIRUS reactor, which was shut down at the end of 2010, and the 100-MW(t) Dhruva heavy water reactor. India operates a plutonium reprocessing plant for military purposes at the BARC.1 India plans to build six fast breeder reactors by the 2030s, which will significantly increase its capacity to produce plutonium that could be used for building weapons.2 An unsafeguarded 500-megawatt-electric (MW(e)) prototype fast breeder reactor (PFBR) is being built at the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR) complex at Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu. The PFBR is expected to be commissioned in mid-2018 following a series of technical delays.3 The IGCAR has announced that a fast reactor fuel cycle facility will be built at Kalpakkam to reprocess spent fuel from the PFBR and future fast breeder reactors. The plant is scheduled to be commissioned by 2022.4 India is currently expanding its uranium enrichment capabilities.

  • Akash Missile and Economic Growth
    Akash missile and economic growth Why in news? \n\n The indigenously produced Akash missile system will helps modernisation of defence and boosts economic growth. \n\n What are the significance of Akash missile? \n\n \n Akash is a medium-range, surface-to-air missile defence system. \n It is developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). \n The missile system can target aircraft up to 30 km away, at altitudes up to 18,000 m. \n It consists of a Rohini radar that detects incoming aircraft at ranges out to 120 km and relays the information to a command post. \n It has the capability to "neutralise aerial targets like fighter jets, cruise missiles and air-to-surface missiles" as well as ballistic missiles. \n It is in operational service with the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force. \n \n\n What are the issues with Akash production? \n\n \n The production of Akash missiles is not under single body, DRDO develops only foundational technologies. \n Numerous private sector companies will develop crucial sub-systems. \n While 330 smaller private firms feed into the Akash’s production as Tier-2 and Tier-3 vendors. \n Two defence public sector undertakings Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) and Bharat Dynamics Ltd (BDL) will function as “systems integrators” that put the entire system together. \n The Akash production chain stands empty as the defence ministry bargains with BEL over the cost of its next order. \n Due to various norms the indigenous manufacturers face many difficulties in production.

  • Israeli Arms Transfers to India: Ad Hoc Defence Cooperation Or the Beginnings of a Strategic Partnership?
    Policy Brief: Israeli Arms Transfers to India: Ad Hoc Defence Cooperation or the Beginnings of a Strategic Partnership? Richard A. Bitzinger April 2013 Policy Brief: Israeli Arms Transfers to India: Ad Hoc Defence Cooperation or the Beginnings of a Strategic Partnership? RICHARD A. BITZINGER 2 Executive Summary Israeli arms exports to India are at the core of Indo-Israeli defence cooperation. Israel has been selling weapons to the Indian military for over 20 years. These transfers are mutually benefi cial: Israel has become one of India’s most important arms suppliers, as well as a critical provider of military technologies and know-how, while India has become Israel’s single largest arms market. This arms relationship has subsequently expanded into other areas of defence cooperation, such as combating terrorism, and joint naval and space activities. However, any expectations that such cooperation will result in a broader and deeper “strategic partnership” – particularly one that could help Tel Aviv enlist New Delhi’s help in hindering Iran’s anti- Israeli activities – are overly optimistic. India and Israel do not share enough of a common worldview or common goals to form the basis of such a partnership. Consequently, Indo-Israel defence cooperation will likely remain a tactical, ad hoc arms- for-cash relationship for some time to come. Defence cooperation has always been a low-key but essential Recent Israeli transfers to India include: element in relations between Israel and India.1 While most of • Searcher and Heron surveillance UAVs this cooperation has taken place at the rather discreet level • Harpy and Harop loitering anti-radiation drones of Israeli arms sales to India, these deals have nonetheless • The Popeye air-to-ground missile been critical to the expansion of military ties between these • The Python-4 air-to-air missile two countries since the establishment of bilateral diplomatic • The Spike anti-tank missile relations in 1992.

  • Indian Army Successfully Carries out Trials of Third Generation NAG Missiles
    Sat, 20 July 2019 Indian Army successfully carries out trials of third generation NAG missiles The trials of the missiles, developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), were conducted between July 7 to July 18, 2019 By Manjeet Singh Negi The Indian Army has successfully carried out its summer user trials of third Generation Anti-Tank Guided Missile NAG at Pokhran Field Firing Ranges. The trials of the missiles, developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), were conducted between July 7 to July 18, 2019. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh congratulated the user-evaluation teams and the DRDO for the successful completion of the user trials. The NAG missile has been developed to engage highly fortified enemy tanks in all weather conditions with day and night capabilities and with a minimum range of 500m and maximum range of 4 km. It is a third-generation fire-and-forget-class missile and uses an imaging infrared seeker in lock-on- before-launch mode. The missile is launched from the NAG missile carrier (NAMICA) which is capable of carrying up to six combat missiles. The robust imaging algorithm has made the missile hit the target at a distance of 4 km even in severe summer desert conditions which is unique in its class. As part of the NAG summer user trials, six missions were conducted under extreme temperature conditions of the Pokhran Ranges. All the missiles have met the mission objectives including minimum range, maximum range, indirect attack as well as top attack modes and achieved a direct hit on the target.
